Mission Statement: The Mission of One Mom’s Battle (OMB, established in 2011) is twofold: 1) to provide a common meeting place for men and women dealing with a Narcissistic (or other personality disordered) ex where members can support one another and problem solve together in a positive fashion and 2) hopefully educate the Family Court System on high-conflict divorces fueled by individuals with P
ersonality Disorders. History of OMB: After a horrific 4-year custody battle, Tina Swithin took her plight to the media in an effort to shine the spotlight on her intense struggle to protect her young daughters. After four years on the battlefield (and while acting as her own attorney 99% of the time), Tina’s plight came to an end in 2013 when she was granted a final custody order for full legal and physical custody and professionally supervised visits for her ex-husband. Because Tina is a mom, she titled her blog, FB page, and book One Mom’s Battle but fully recognized that both men and women can be fighting to protect their children from poor decision making by personality disordered ex partners and by the family court system. Focus of OMB: The focus of OMB is upon vulnerable children deserving a “normal” childhood. “The courts needs to stop focusing on Mother’s Rights and Father’s Rights – a parent should not have rights simply because they have the ability to procreate. A child’s right to be safe, loved and nurtured should supersede the rights of his or her parents. The Family Court System needs a complete overhaul because it should not be this difficult to protect a child. The Family Court System is failing our children and our families.” –Tina Swithin
